In 2010, Oklahoma adopted a 15% voluntary renewable energy generation goal by 2015.
This goal has not been expanded or extended, which has resulted in a limited number
of incentives to encourage solar growth in the state. Oklahoma's net metering program
is available to all customers with no limit on the aggregate capacity. The state also
offers tax incentives on zero-emission facilities, which indirectly helps solar generation.
No solar incentives from utilities have been identified.

Net Metering

As of November 1, 2014, utilities and regulated electric cooperatives can apply to
the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) for approval to charge a fixed fee to customer-generators
who install net-metered distributed generation. Utilities and cooperatives are not
required to purchase monthly net excess generation from customers. A customer-generator's
net excess generation must be provided to the electric cooperative or utility at no
charge.

Interconnection

OCC has not adopted standardized interconnection procedures. Potential customer-generators
should contact local cooperative/utility to learn more about specific terms and conditions
as well as the application process.

System size limit: 100 kW under terms and conditions for small power producer or cogenerator

Liability insurance: Not addressed

External disconnect switch: Required

Third Party Ownership

Third party solar power purchase agreements are not allowed in Oklahoma.

Community Solar
